Misleading title (the one on the news article): Firefox added multiple chatbots, and only on nightlies.
And every single one is opt-in. Firefox need features for everyone to gain traction, and not just us.
Relax.
This is fine. I want nothing do do with AI, and opt in is the right way to do this. Those that want it can enable it.
If you’re wondering, it’s literally just an embedded webpage of the AI vendor as a sidebar with a single button that pastes the entire contents of the webpage you’re on for the AI to give you a summary. So they basically just saved you the arduous effort of checks notes “ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl+n <domain of ai vendor> enter ctrl+v enter.”
This reeks of “management demanded it when none of the developers wanted to add it.”
Guys relax they are opt-in also LibreWolf and a ton of forks are available too
